    200mph viper?

    Professor Dell did 217 in the half-mile. I think he had a free-flowing air cleaner on it......;-)

    Parking Brake

    I have never looked at the workings of the cable from under the car....sometimes when the lever is pulled up I can tell the cable has slipped off something....it doesn't tighten up. Pull it a few times and it "catches". Its annoying but not the end of the world. Is the fix easy or difficult...

    Gen 2 - Blower, Hennessey, TNT King Snake, or other

    As the owner of a Henny 650R that was NOT AT ALL what it was supposed to be (I spent a lot of time and money fixing it), you do need to watch out for the engine mods....and a dyno is the easy way to tell that. The other mods are visible from 20 feet away (aero) and from under the car ...

    Clutch gone and almost through front fence.

    OK so the birdcage is driving me insane. I think the large pin on my pedal linkage has had the "head" break off of it......the large pin over which the rod end goes is just a cylinder.....it has no d*ck head for the birdcage to grab. I'm done with this plastic pox on humanity. Gotta try the...

    Whats the funniest thing anyone has ever asked or said about your viper?

    When I lived in the city, my neighbor said his wife had to be careful to make sure none of the wine glasses in the cabinet were close/touching or they would all "sing" and clink when I backed out of the adjoining driveway. Apparently she didn't mind the adaptation......

    anyway to get gtsr parts for a gen 2?

    I have even written to the Oreca boys (in French for good measure) asking for any left over parts.....no dice. If you find them please post the identity of the place after you buy what you want!

    Fuel Stabilizer?

    Its not just the ethanol that'll be an issue, but the gas itself breaks down with age. I use Stabil and it seems to work well enough. One tank of gas a year is difficult to manage.

    GoPro Vid with the TNT Headers

    I wish I coulda gotten to the exhaust sound.....the "music" made me turn the sound off before I got there.....

    Almost Lost My ACR today :(

    Happy for you that the heat/fire didn't compromise the painted fiberglass pieces (or if it did the damage was minor). Sills are likely easier and cheaper to replace than a hood or door panel.

    Racing harness for stock Generation 1 Viper

    I know this likely isn't helpful, but I've not seen a proper racing harness affixed to anything other than a rollcage element. It might be possible but you're going to have to find secure mounting points somewhere, otherwise the harness will be unsafe. No worries if its just for show.

    S1 T56 sequential shifter

    Very cool. The sequentials I've seen from the big boys go for around $25K. This would be much nicer ;-)

    Dodge preparing supercharged, Convertible Vipers for 2016?

    I wish it were different but that kind of HP and TQ would require all other weak links to be totally redone. Not likely for even a halo car that doesn't sell a lot of copies. Hope I'm wrong ;-)

    Gen I, II or III...decisions decisions.

    The right heads, headers and a tune will get you well past 450 at the crank....... ;-)
